Sunny side of the mobile market
More than 2.3 bn people use mobile phone. Over 2 bn GSMusers until June 2006. Operators turnover was $570 bn
and handset makers turnover was $117 bn in 2005.
Current monthly intake is over31 million i.e., one million customers every day!China, India, Indonesia and Russia are driving this growth.

Dark side of the mobile market Yet more than 3 billion unconnected people live under themobile networks coverage.
They are from the emerging markets (Bellow 50% marketpenetration with less than US$5.00 monthly ARPU).
GSMA says handset cost is the biggest barrier to connectthem and 80% of the next billion mobile users are comingfrom this group.
Steps have been taken to deliver affordable handsets tothese potential clients.
There is, however, no effort to protect these low-end
customers investment in handsets.

Road to next billion customers
Ultra-low cost handsets (ULCH) will fuel this
growth.
GSMA launched Emerging Market Handset
(EMH) project in 2004. It will supply 12 million(2% of global intake) ULCH @$40 in 2005-06.This cost will come down to bellow $30.
ULCH sales will pass 36 million in 2007. In 2010almost 48 million ULCH will be sold, which willbe 5.3% of new device sales.

Outline of EMH project Operators from emerging markets are
creating a critical mass of ULCH through aspecial procurement initiative.
A handset specification and tender was
issued - 18 vendors contested. Motorola won first contract to supply 6 million
ULCH in February 05. Motorola also won the second deal for
additional 6 million ULCH in September 05.

Semiconductor industry in ULCH
Infineons bellow $20 and Philips bellow $30 platforms. Both to integrate the key functions of a mobile phone into a single chip
of around $5.
Texas Instruments has developed TCS2010 chipset for ULCH.

Its all about International Mobile
Equipment Identity (IMEI) code
Dial *#06# to know your handsets unique 15-digitIMEI code.
If your handsets IMEI matches with another, thatis certainly NOT a coincidence.
Either of the handsetEither of the handset has to behas to be a stolen one!a stolen one!
A hacker must have copied one phones IMEI toanother.

Central Equipment Identity Register
(CEIR) was formed in 2004 "The cost to operators today of implementing local stolen phone
databases, on a per subscriber basis, is prohibitively high," said Rob
Conway, CEO of GSMA.
"This has been a significant barrier to implementation for manyoperators, in many markets of the world. Our members are in needof more cost effective solutions, tailored to the needs of their
markets."
In response, the GSMA has created GSM Technology Services, aventure with iLabs that offers cost effective EIR solutions together
with improved functionality.
"Over time we believe we will be able to leverage greater economiesof scale to further reduce costs, and therefore improve the viabilityfor more operators to develop their own customised databases,"
said Conway.

How it works? The database of IMEI is regularly uploaded to Central
Equipment Identity Register (CEIR) .
While connected to the CEIR, an operator downloadschanges submitted by competing networks.
Each time a mobile phone tries to access a network, itsidentity is checked against the operator's local database.
The black-listed stolen phones are deniedaccess.

Case study: UK An average of 900,000 phones were annually stolen in UK until 2002.
Now it has been reduced significantly.
Thanks to the Mobile Telephones (Re-programming) Act 2002 thatcame into force on October 4, 2002.
It forbids the changing of IMEI number and possessing, supplying oroffering to supply the necessary equipment with the intent to use it forre-programming mobile phones in UK.
Yet annually 100,000 mobiles get stolen in London alone!
"In Iraq a new phone can cost 500, so a briefcase of stolen
mobiles can be worth a lot of money. There's not a continent inthis world that we have not found a mobile phone that has beenstolen in London.

Remote island of good
governance simply doesnt exist Making the law and its enforcement through
CEIR may have protected the UK mobilephones market.
The culprits have, however, discovered newblack markets beyond the borders.
GSM operators must get linked with aregional, if not global, CEIR.

It harms everybody
Mobile phone is the most personal and
portable device anybody has ever used.
Spending $30~$40 for a handset is still abig deal for the ordinary citizens ofemerging markets.
ULCH through EMH initiative alone is nota sustainable strategy for the growth.

What does a stolen ULCH of Rs.1,000
mean to this Indian family? Food: How much rice or
wheat can be purchased?
Housing: To what extent ofthis house can be fixed?
Health: How much of medicalexpenses can be covered?
Education: How much the
kids education cost covers?
Living: How many cloths canbe bought for this family? Investment on
handset/ULCH has to beprotected first.

Conclusion:
Connecting the unconnected is a glamorous pre-sales campaign.
Protecting the unprotected should be themandatory post-sales obligation.
Governments, Regulators and Operators are to work
in tandem to ensure it.
Its a matter of common goodwill.
